Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the hospital’s skilled specialists and collaborative teams in emergency/ICU, neurology (IVDD and seizures), oncology and dentistry. Many describe clear, thorough explanations with frequent updates, and several credit the vets with life‑saving diagnoses, successful surgeries and compassionate end‑of‑life care. The facility is repeatedly noted as clean, well equipped and able to triage or squeeze in urgent cases when other clinics could not.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Common concerns centre on long ER wait times (several hours in some cases) and inconsistent front‑desk communication, including confusion about ICU visiting hours and, on rare occasions, a cold manner. Pricing drew mixed reactions: multiple reviewers felt costs were high, reported upselling or unexpected bills, and a few cited billing/estimate or results follow‑up issues, while a smaller number felt fees were reasonable. Isolated complaints mention being turned away despite being told to come, a pet discharged soiled after an overnight stay, slippery floors for mobility‑impaired dogs, and frustration around the oncology department’s closure without a clear transition plan. While most feedback is positive, these points suggest the value of clearer expectations, tighter communication and transparency around fees and timelines.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners

  • For emergencies, call ahead to confirm current wait times and capacity, and expect that visits can take several hours.
  • Ask for written estimates and itemized invoices up front, and discuss alternatives before approving tests or procedures.
  • If your pet will be hospitalized, clarify ICU visiting hours with both the medical team and reception to avoid confusion.
  • Bring non‑slip booties or a small mat for mobility‑impaired pets, as floors were noted as slippery by one reviewer.
  • Request regular medical updates and ensure you receive all lab results and discharge instructions before leaving.
